Jacob has wide-covering experience of the industry, working both on the pharmaceutical, as well as the medtech side, and will be a very valuable addition to Opticom in his role as Corporate Advisor.

“I am driven by supporting companies in the industry to contribute to a more efficient healthcare for all patients through their products and services, as well as for care providers and society at large. I am passionate about all the opportunities that digitalisation provides. Digitalisation is very much about new technology, but it always starts with the individuals who are actually implementing the changes.” Jacob Ahlsson, Corporate Advisor, Opticom Group
